Hello dearest Iron Chefs of Steemit!

How I am happy to be present this round...last week I was so busy that I could not enter the contest! It was the first time that I missed a round...I was really sad as the product banana was quite easy for me to do something interesting!

Anyway...round 12 is over and now time to concentrate on the 13th one...the product this week to work on is ONION!

Without losing too much time, let me show you what I cam up with...

Onion Festival!

With my entry this round, I tried to work the product of the week in different ways :

Onion Cream
Onion Salad with spring onion
Sautéed Kale with Onion
Whole Roasted Onion

So basically...Onion was the main attraction of my plate, hope you like it!

If I have to write each steps that I did to make this dish...this post will be just too long! But there are a lot of easy steps, that everyone who cooks knows...

As usual my entry will be with a lots of photos...enjoy!!!

I started by roasting my onion in a pan and continued the cooking in the oven for 8 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius or until the onion is soft.

Please note that i did not peel the onion when roasting. The upper layer will help it not to burn in the oven!

While this one was roasting, I made a puree with some white onions...with butter, salt, pepper, olive oil and sliced onions - From time to time I added chicken stock until the onion was very soft.

Then I blended it and re-checked the seasoning...you can add a touch of white balsamic vinegar if you wish!

Then it was the turn to cook the kale - which I received as sample to taste!

Simply add some olive oil in a skillet, add onion and garlic, let cook for couple of seconds, then add the kale leaves.

Season with salt and pepper. I added some drops of fresh lemon juice in!

Last item that I prepared was the salad...I used only red onions, spring onion, salt, olive oil, lime juice and pepper for my salad...I wanted that taste of red onion to come out!
